NS-2 Installation

NS-2 is a the most famous and universal network simulator

It took from me a lot of efforts to get it installed on my Ubuntu (many installations of the OS, many error messages upon failed installation).

But now it is okay as finally I got this message:

Ns-allinone package has been installed successfully.

Here are the installation places:
tcl8.4.14: /home/zidan/ns-allinone-2.31/{bin,include,lib}
tk8.4.14: /home/zidan/ns-allinone-2.31/{bin,include,lib}
otcl: /home/zidan/ns-allinone-2.31/otcl-1.13
tclcl: /home/zidan/ns-allinone-2.31/tclcl-1.19

ns: /home/zidan/ns-allinone-2.31/ns-2.31/ns
nam: /home/zidan/ns-allinone-2.31/nam-1.13/nam
xgraph: /home/zidan/ns-allinone-2.31/xgraph-12.1
gt-itm: /home/zidan/ns-allinone-2.31/itm, edriver, sgb2alt, sgb2ns, sgb2comns, sgb2hierns

I think that the favor returns to this good tutorial about NS-2 installation

And another important thing that I had run some example on this simulator and here is a screen shot of the simulation output at my desktop


And the favor also returns to this How to tutorials.
